Strum
D-DU-UDU
 I'm goin' down  to the Greyhound Station, gonna buy  a ticket to ride
 Gonna find  that lady with two or three kids and sit down  by her side
 Ride  'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout  two or three times
 Smokin' cigarettes  in the last seat
 try and hide  my sorrow from the people I meet
 And get along  with it all
 Go down  where the people say "y'all"..
 Sing a song  with a friend
 Change the shape  that I'm in,
 And get back  in the game,
 And start playin'  again
I'd  like to stay but I might have to go to start over  again
 Might go back  down to Texas, might go to somewhere that Ive  never been
 And get  up in the mornin' and go out at night
 And I won't have  to go home
 Get used to bein'  alone
 Change the words  to this song
 Start singin'  again
 (Repeat Intro)
 Im tired of runnin  round lookin for answers to questions that I  already know
 I could build  me a castle of memories just to have  somewhere to go
 Count the days  and the nights that it takes to get back in the saddle  again
 Feed the pigeons  some clay
 Turn the night  into day
 Start talkin'  again, when I  know what to say
 (Repeat Intro)
 I'm goin' down  to the Greyhound Station, gonna  buy a ticket to ride
 Gonna find  that lady with two or three kids and sit  down by her side
Ride  'til the sun comes up and down around me 'bout  two or three times
 Smokin' cigarettes  in the last seat
 try and hide  my sorrow from the people I meet
 And get along  with it all
 Go down  where the people say "y'all"...
 Feed the pigeons  some clay
 Turn the night  into day
 Start talkin'  again, when I  know what to say
